Judge Dred (Fred)By the AM on Thursday all the umps will be singing from the same hymnal... did you see the interview of the umps after the game? It was interesting to say the least.
I would have to figure that AJ, being the WSox catcher, interpreted the situation and took advantage of the Angel catcher tossing the ball out to the mound (followed by the ensuing confusion). From the replays it look like the catcher cleanly caught the ball, but that's obviously not what the ump thought and it's all about what the ump sees (or thinks he saw).
